This guide is for compiling Middron in Windows XP.
a. Check out the source code from the subversion repository using
this URL: https://middrongame.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/middrongame/trunk
b. The root folder has a file called 'Middron.cbp'. This is a
project file for the Code::Blocks IDE. I suggest you use
it for compiling Middron. If you don't have it download it
from this page: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads.shtml
Don't download the stable release named 1.0-RC2. Use a
nightly build instead!
c. If you don't have it, download MinGW from this page: http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
and install it.
d. Open the Code::Blocks Middron project. Go to
Settings -> Compiler and Debugger -> Toolchain executables
and set the compiler directory of your MinGW installation.
Your MinGW compiler is the GNU GCC Compiler.
e. Download the libraries needed for compiling from this URL:
wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~hrnjadsd/Middron/middron_libs.zip
Extract the zip archive into the Middron root folder.
f. Download the 3d models using this URL:
wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~hrnjadsd/Middron/middron_models.zip
Extract the zip file into the Middron data folder.
That is it. You should be now able to compile the game. In order
to run it, you will need various dll files, which you can find
in the library binary folders located in the extern folder.

Actually in point d. you have to set the root directory of your MinGW installation!
